Externnal USB Hard disk doesn't show up anywhere
I had an external 2 1/2 inch external drive from Maxtor (One Touch III) It
didn't show up in explorer - or anywhere. If I connected up "both" USB plugs to two USB ports - it showed up but was still unusable. AND, the damn stores that sell these things (Best Buy, Circuit City etc.) do not have the external power supplies that Maxtor tells you to use if you have operational problems. The damn drive needed more power than my USB ports supply and therefore would not function. The concept of these mini drive is great but I would not touch one ever again. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "ratanmaitra" wrote in message ... Hello...

Keeps backups of my notebook drive, is great for swapping tons of files from my desktop to the notebook, etc. So far no problems. Can't believe that thing cost me so little for so much. My first hard drive was a 30mb hard drive on an ISA card and it cost me $300. Blew out in just under a year and was immediately replaced under warranty. |
